Begonia 'Wild Swan' BSWJ 7772

Pot size: 9cm
Plant ultimate height: 30cm (12in)
Growing condition: Partial - full shade
Flowering season: July to September

A short tuberous deciduous species/variety from Japan. With rounded hairy mat green leaves and separate stalks with masses of white flowers. A short species that I considered borderline hardy, but after being forgotten about in the 22-23 winter and being frozen solid in pots for a couple weeks or more they emerged in mid Spring as normal.
